Four men come together for a Palm Springs jewelry heist. Ringleader Lee (Timothy Hutton) invites his older brother Roy (Harvey Keitel) to join Jorge (Wade Dominguez) and their weapons procurer and driver, Skip (Stephen Dorff). The robbery goes off flawlessly, but Skip attempts to double-cross the gang afterward, killing two of them. Only Roy is left alive to pursue him across Los Angeles, through the criminal underbelly of strip clubs and reckless killers.

Like other Irvin films, this noir saga (more of an urban Western) is burdened with a philosophical layer that's incongruous with the basic tale, though acting by Keitel, Dorff, and others is good.

The movie plays more like an exercise in noir atmosphere and violence than like a story; the pieces are sometimes nice, but they don't fit.

5/10

The majority of it may be generic – few concepts stand out as original – but Keitel makes for a wholly convincing ruffian.

Tough, gritty and violent this is a throwback noir film well worth seeing, with some terrific performances, in particular Harvey Keitel , doing what he does best.

City of Industry is one of them movies that seems like a good heist movie by the poster, but doesn't turn out how you expect when the movie starts.
